Standard Of Life

Opinion - (Star) Reader Views

Regarding Sunday's headline "Nation's standard of living may never be the same": Perhaps we need to give much thought to the possibility that our "standard of living" is less important to the health of our country than our standard of life.

For so long, we have been concentrated on things that have a dollar value. Now, we must face eternal values. Is that bad? Is it possible that we are experiencing both a "wake-up call" and a "reality check"? Is it also possible that both are necessary to our maturation process if we are to be equal to our leadership responsibilities?
